This is so hard

[Sis71]

I am starting my quit again today. I am so frustrated that I cant make it through a normal day. The only way I feel this will work is if I dont leave my house. EVER!! I want this so much but my mind gets the best of me and I feel like a complete failure. I am very disappointed in myself and I am very sorry for restarting my quit date.

Well my dad 1 and I woke up sick. I stayed home from work and have been taking it easy all day. I work with special needs kids so I can’t go to work sick. I through away everything yesterday that has to do with smoking but today I thought about it constantly. Reading posts here, Deep breathing and reading and sleeping because I’m sick helped today.

Congratulations on following through on your Quit Day!

Here's to Day WON!

On to Day Two, and Three and to FOREVER!

Remember to keep a cold bottle of water handy and sip often, change up your routines, keep a list of things you can do to distract yourself when the going gets tough.

You can do this!  Just don't smoke!

As long you jus keep trying try to keep your mind on other things and tell yourself I can do this we're here to support you as much we can.

Hi Sissy,

Don't beat up on yourself. It does not matter how many times you fall down but that you get back up again. Nothing beats a failure but a try. Today is my second day and the struggle is real. We can do this together and support each other. Maybe cook your favorite dish and watch a good movie. Find something fun to do online or play some games. Go to bed early. Think of something to do to make yourself busy. Tell yourself it's just about today. Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Yesterday I cleaned out my garage. Good Luck to you. You can do this.

you are not a failure.

have you read Alan Carr’s book? - very helpful 

also have you done any research on the enemy nicotine? It’s helping me big time just understanding the enemy..makes

it easier to strategize getting over rough patches. (I’m new at this but it’s the ist quit where I feel

like I will be victorious)....the following link helped me——>
